Great service and help. Oliver is a very good professional and helped to find the best flat for us. Many thanks!

Avoid at all cost! Organised scam at the end of tenancy! During tenancy, the agency took weeks before fixing major issues such as broken windows in winter. At the end of tenancy, the landlord claimed over 2 weeks of rent for a professional clean and minor scratches on the floor and walls that existed prior to the start of the tenancy. Anscombe uses a one-man inventory agency company dubbed Ft2 inventories. This agency conducts a light check-in inventory report at night time and a very detailed check-out inventory report at day time. The flat was left spotless after a 280GBP professional clean yet Ft2 inventories reported the flat was not cleaned up to professional standards. Landlord and Anscombe backed down from the claim after weeks of muscling up and proving that claim was unfounded.

I recently signed a new tenancy agreement with the help of Karan Kumar of Foxton's Notting Hill office. Karan provided an excellent level of service throughout. I was really impressed by the properties put forward, which helpfully included a range of price points all within budget and all of which took into account my requests. Having seen the properties, I had a really good feel for what was on the market. Karan was then very helpful in getting all the necessary paperwork processed and we were able to finalise the tenancy much more quickly than I had anticipated. As I am short on free time because of work, his availability and quick response time was hugely appreciated and left me with a very positive feeling about the whole process. I look forward to moving in!

Contacted them two months ago looking for a flat. A guy name Tom was very nice on the phone but not once in person. He argued that I said my limit was 1,300 pcm while I said 1,200 pcm. However, he showed us 4 flats, none of them under 1,300 (the cheapest was 1,350), insisting in that "the normal thing is to spend the 80% of the salary on the rent. Well, that may be your case Tom, but I don't want to struggle every month to pay my bills. He rudly insists so much on this that he even took a calculator and started calculating how much money we would still have after paying 1400 for a 1 bedroom flat near Portobello Market (btw, I thought the limit supposed to be 1300...). He also added that we will not find a 1 bedroom flat for less than 1300, unless we go to live to heathrow. Well, guess what Tom, we find it in Hackney for 1150, and it is not the crappy flats you showed to us (one of them included the landlords -an old couple that, I guess, wasn't expecting having two girls living together- living on the second floor of the building). I am not saying this the experience you will get with Foxtons. Not at all, at the same time colleagues from Foxtons Archway, Ealing and Greenwich were being incredibly kind and professional with us. I just believe this particular "Tom" from Foxtons Notting Hill is only used to work with wealthy people that would pay whatever they asked for a old, muddy, crappy flat in Kensington. It's fine, just tell me from the begining and don't go wasting my time.

Ollie Fuller was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was very responsive and knowledgeable. Thank you.

Absolute nightmare. Foxtons have failed to deliver on any of their responsibilities. The only time they were really keen on getting things done is when it was our turn to pay 6 months' rent up front. They didn't get the apartment cleaned before our arrival, despite delaying our move-in to allow time for them to do so, they didn't provide a 2nd set of keys, despite promising to do so and were rude and unhelpful every step of the way. One piece of the paperwork we were supposed to provide was missing (because they told me it was not necessary) and one of their agents actually said "Well I'm not letting you move in without [the document]". On top of the advertised admin fees were were presented with around £300 of hidden extra charges as well as a 2% credit card charge, which they failed to warn us about, which again was in the £300 range, their service costing over 2x as much in the end than advertised. I would never recommend them to anyone. I know they have a large range of flats on offer, but I would urge everyone to do their best to avoid Foxtons.

We just exchanged on a property that I acquired on behalf a client through Savills on Kensington Church Street. Tom Corbett-Winder was the ultimate professional the whole way through and if any issues arose he dealt with them quickly and efficiently.

Savills Kensington is one of the best real estate agencies I have had experience with in London - always quick, responsive, and focused (which cannot be said about most of their competition and even other branches of the group). Would like to particularly commend Charlotte Elkington for making the whole process as smooth as it can possibly be and always staying on top of things. Highly recommended to anyone looking to buy/rent in the area.

Megan was incredible. She knew exactly what my husband and I were looking for and when we found the perfect flat she did everything so we could take it. We will definitely recommend this agency and please look for Megan.

The worst experience ever! Be prepared to involve your lawyers before signing anything with them. They are the worst authorized delinquents! Incompetents and thieves! They only do their interests! I strongly discourage everyone to cross their door.

Hugh was helpful and patient and did his best to help me to find a flat in Notting Hill area. His knowledge about the neighbour helped me to visualize where and what I am getting into which ultimately made a difference when came to decision time.
